Abstract
With an increasing number of conservation translocations undertaken across Australia and New Zealand, and a growing volume of research that accompanies these programmes, reintroduction biology is no longer in the infancy it was two decades ago (Serena and Williams 1995). The challenge now for reintroduction practitioners is how best to apply the vast amount of available knowledge in support of their translocation practices. Additionally, practitioners must be conscious of the array of new analytical tools and approaches available to them to enable evaluation of translocation outcomes. Here we summarise our progress in reintroduction biology of Australian and New Zealand fauna over the last 20 years, identify emerging themes, and suggest future directions.
